The fourteenth chapter of Ronald Takaki's A Different Mirror briefly covers American dilemmas during the Second World War. Following the attack on Pearl Harbor, Hawaiian military governor General Delos Emmons declared: "We must distinguish between loyalty and disloyalty among our people"(Takaki 342). At first, this assured faithful Japanese citizens and aliens of Hawaii that the government would not produce mass concentration camps due to their ethnicity. President Roosevelt eventually settled for the internment of 1,444 Japanese after his original demand for 20,000 following Emmons' argument claiming that "such a removal of Japanese would severely disrupt both the economy and the defense of Hawaii" (Takaki 342). Meanwhile, on the west
During the 19th century, America promised land and opportunities for all. Though some groups of individuals left their homes willingly in order to take advantage of what America had to offer, others were forced to flee due to inhabitable conditions in their homelands. Both Chinese and Irish immigrants, however, were often disappointed with their treatment upon arrival in America. The Anglo-Saxons that first inhabited America viewed immigrants as uncivilized and quickly declared their superiority, forcing immigrants to work for them. They created laws that prevented groups from accessing similar privileges as them and racialized these groups based on their cultures and languages.
For this week I decided to write a summary of chapter 11: Anglo-Saxons and Mexicans. The new political ideologies were created between 1830 to the 1840s. These new ideas were influenced by pride and obvious racism. These beliefs inspired the idea that American Anglo-Saxons were the dominant force and that they should be the ones to shape the destiny of others. The idea of the American Anglo-Saxon race was influenced by the American Mexican war.
From the birth of the nation to today, the idea that the United States of America was built on the foundation of democracy remains unwavering. Throughout history, many different figures have molded and shaped democracy in their own ways, changing how the nation perceives and defines democracy. From Martin Luther King Jr.’s inspirational speeches that shook the nation to the riveting case of Brown v. The Board of Education that contributed to the hard fought battle against inequality. Among those figures and events that redefined democracy and therefore the country, stands Ronald Takaki. Known for his work in ethnic studies, Takaki pioneered studies into African American history, being the first professor at UCLA to teach African American history.
Before the creation of Americas, there was numerous tribes flourishing on this vast great continent. Tribes held dearly to the beliefs of the land; every animal, stream and mountain holds a powerful meaning and connection to their ancestors. Raised fierce warriors to conquer neighboring towns that lasted for generations that used their knowledge of mathematics, astronomy and science to grow crops in the harsh environment, navigate through their territory and communicate with other tribes miles away. Sadly, when Europeans sent settlers to North America, the natives were viewed different in every way and eventually considered savages. I will be discussing three different tribes to prove how wrong the Europeans were.
In chapter fourteen of A Different Mirror by Ronald Takaki, the author elaborates how all nations contributed to political and economic climate during the 20th century. As World War II escalated in Europe and Asia, President Franklin D. Roosevelt made a speech to Congress on January 6, 1941, stating that we support those who struggle to gain human rights and that our nation has the destiny to have people gain freedom everywhere. Eleven months later on December 7, 1941, Japan dropped a bomb on Pearl Harbor. President Roosevelt took the initiative of the Kellog-Briand Act, resulting in the United States entering World War II. This changed the United States relations with Mexicans, Africans, Japanese, Chinese, Jewish, and Native Americans.
In Kenneth Branaugh’s version of act 3: scene 1, Hamlet is seen standing in front of a mirror. In this portrayal, the mirror represents an appearance of a false reality as it acts as a distorted depiction of something that is not actually real. Throughout the scene, the only visual image that the audience is allowed of Hamlet is that of the illustration of his reflection in the mirror. Hamlet is aware that Claudius is spying on him, and takes this into account throughout the progression of the soliloquy. This image that is depicted of Hamlet represents an act that he is portraying to hoax everyone into believing a false appearance.

Around the years 1650 Great Britain 's North American colonies were racially white, ethnically english and religiously Protestant. Years passed and the 1700s were among us, those colonies changed and had become more diverse. Race, ethnicity and religion affected the society but what really happened in the hundred years that passed to affect the society? Native Americans thought of the natural world filled with spirits. Every object, possessed a voice that if you listened hard enough could be heard.
The speech that was read by Chief Red Jacket to defend the religious beliefs of his people is a powerful piece of literature that is underrated. The speech describes the feelings that were caused by the religious intolerance from the Americans. Currently, the United States have started to appreciate the impacts of the Native Americans and other minorities in history. However, a piece of history that has been quite hidden is the religious intolerance of Native Americans. Chief Red Jacket utilizes repetition, pathos, and rhetorical questions to convince the Americans to tolerate the religion of the Native Americans.

Adam Sorenson Prof. Riggs COMP 01112 2/12/18 Misrepresentation of Native Americans Native American’s for many years now have been viewed as lone warriors or squaw, some people don’t even know that they still exist! People just think of the Native American people in storybook tales and nothing more then that. The Native Americans have been living in the United States for awhile now and were the first ones on the country’s soil. They were here way before Christopher Columbus and the other European Colonists even discovered America and they are still present in the U.S.
They are often labeled as uncivilized barbarians, which is a solely false accusation against them. This paper aims to address the similarities between Native American beliefs and the beliefs of other cultures based on The Iroquois Creation Story in order to defeat the stereotype that Natives are regularly defined by. Native Americans are commonly considered uncivilized, savage, and barbarian. Nevertheless, in reality the Natives are not characterized by any of those negative traits, but rather they inhabit positive characteristics such as being wise, polite, tolerant, civilized, harmonious with nature, etc. They have had a prodigious impact on the Puritans
Mary Rowlandson was kidnapped from her village and held captive by Native Americans. While in captivity, she portrayed a negative picture of the Native Americans in her narrative “The Captivity and restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson.” In her narrative, Rowlandson disparaged and ridiculed the Native Americans in a negative way to show or reason to her peers that the Native Americans were like savages and ruthless animals. In my opinion, Rowlandson portrayed the Native Americans in a negative manner to show others their savage behaviors but also to show the power of God and how he will save those who believe in him. First, Rowlandson implanted the Native Americans as savages when she compared and called them derogative names like “ravenous Beast” (237) and “Barbarous Creatures” (238).
